POEM STARTER

Life Without You
Write a poem or short story about what life would be like without the person you care about the most.
life without senses
Life without you smells boring
It reeks of vanilla and empty words
Without your bittersweet looks or foul play
Or indescribable complexity that falls short of the bare minimum
Life without you tastes empty
Like your ways of showing me you love me
On the tops of my tongue it tastes exactly like what I imagine promises do
Life without you feels light
And sweet
And airy
You complete me you are apart of me and always will be
Why is it so difficult?
Like something that will lift weight off of my shoulders
But would weigh down my heart
Life without you sounds reasonable
None of my friends like you why should i?
I don’t even like you sometimes so I call you my greatest lie
Why?
Life without you seems unsatisfactory
Sweet
Refreshing
Morbid
Life without you is normal
I’ve been living without you for so long
Life without you is normal
So why does it always feel so wrong?
Feeling
Never knowing
Or tasting
Or smelling
Or touching
Or hearing
life without you is senseless.
